Trivia

In 1990, Rakesh Roshan was contemplating signing Kimi Katkar opposite Amitabh Bachchan for his new project. Later, he dropped the idea of signing Katkar and penciled Sangeeta Bijlani and Ashwini Bhave for the role. The film with Bachchan never got made, but Roshan Sr. did go ahead with the project and signed Jackie Shroff instead. It was later titled KING UNCLE.

User Reviews

Total Crap

I normally don't use such harsh words. But this movie doesn't deserve any better. I don't know, who would watch and like this. 1. To put Sharukh Khan on the cover to sell this movie is totally misleading! He appears only in the beginning and end and that's why the movie gets any points at all. 2. The other Characters, the bad Uncle etc. are played badly! This movie tries to be funny but is just ridiculous, its just too much parody. 3. Although the theme can be quite charming (stone-hearted person is convinced, that love is a beautiful thing by an orphan he has accidentally taken in is house) this movie offers no charm at all! If you are 10 years old, you might enjoy it, but else: hands off!! The scenes with SRK are not worth the money and the time!
